ST. DOMINIC SAVIO HIGH SCHOOL, ANDHERI: TEACHERS' RECOLLECTION
August 17, 2012: Fr. Glenford Lowe, Director of DBYS and AVEC today conducted a day's Recollection for Forty One Teachers of St. Dominic Savio High School, Andheri. The theme for the Recollection was "A New Heart lived by Values". On behalf of the school, Ms. Vidya, Supervisor of the School welcomed Fr. Glenn, a past pupil of the school. A floral bouquet was also handed over as a sign of appreciation and welcome.
The session began with a prayer song 'Sarvesham Swastir Bhavatu' imploring blessings of fullness, peace, health and happiness on all. Fr. Glenn then invited the teachers to be ready for a 'heart transplant'. "Put your heart back into your workplace and the miracle of passion, purpose and significance will take place", he said. Through a variety of examples, touched with humor and moments of personal soul searching, the teachers were asked to align their Personal Values with that of the Institutional Values. "Manage your Life by Values' was an insight that brought about a new perspective change. What you see, is what you get!
In the second half of the session, the teachers were asked to plot their Value Consciousness on the Brain-Tonna Value Map. With the help of one's personal Goal Values and Means Values the teachers were able to discover their place in relation to their World View, their Choice and the Values that guide their choices in life. The Recollection Day was a moment to make a personal commitment to 'Manage One's Life By Values" and live a significant life.
